Great! 7/10

Review: Over the years, I have seen many documentaries about the murder of Tupac and Biggie, which have all been conspiracy theories and made up stories from witnesses but this movie was very believable and quite shocking. The lead investigator, Greg Kading, put together a brilliant case against the real murderers of the two rap stars and the evidence was enough to put the major culprits, Puffy and Suge Knight, behind bars for a very long time but when the case got dropped and the evidence got shelved, it seems like Tupac and Biggie family will never get justice for there murders. The step by step viewing of the assassinations were very believable and the interviews with the various gang members were quite shocking. I just can't believe that the evidence didn't come out on a worldwide scale, because people are still making up there own stories about what happened on both nights of the murders. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this in depth documentary, which doesn't look cheap like a lot that I have seen before. I honestly can't see why the law wouldn't take this evidence seriously because I am definitely convinced that Greg Kading has found the people who were involved and murdered Tupac & Biggie. Great!Round-Up: This brilliant documentary was directed by Michael Dorsey, 37, who also brought you the Six Degrees of Helter Skelter, which is about the Manson family, Lost Airmen of Buchenwald, The Oyler House: Richard Neutra's Desert Retreat and Dearly Departed 1 & 2. The way that he describes how each murder took place, was great and the fact that he shows the real locations, made it even more believable. The real interview tapes that are used throughout the movie, also was a great touch, so I can definitely say that the cases have been solved, in my eyes.I recommend this movie to people who are into their documentaries about the murders of Tupac and Biggie. 7/10

Who Shot Ya?

Not bad but spends most of the first half debunking old theories that primarily detective Russel Poole came up with and discussed in the book LAbyrinth as well as the Nick Broomfield documentary 'Biggie & Tupac'.Which had pretty much everyone thinking that Suge Knight was the man who set Tupac up to be killed.This of course offers a new theory, which is hardly a new one tbh, if you're a fan like me you've probably read about Tupac and Biggie's death you've heard most of what said in the documentary before.I'm not gonna 'spoil' anything but I can say that the key-witness to the new theory and supposed accomplice is a inmate who was looking for a favor when he decided to step forward to tell the truth, so although what he says does come across as plausible it's impossible to say that what we're told in this documentary is any more or less true than for instance the 'Biggie & Tupac' one... Even though if one of the two theories were to be true I'd bet more on this one than Nick Broomfield's heavily manipulated (albeit much more entertaining) documentary.I also felt like it didn't dig deep enough regarding how Puffy's and Suge's beef began to begin with. And the direction was a bit stilted, facts upon facts with no real human connection. A lot to do with the fact that there was no one who was close to Tupac or Biggie in the movie with 75 % of the time being detective Greg Kading doing the talking.So yeah remember to take it all with a little grain of salt, because in the end there is no real proof given just testimonies by people who might have something to gain with what their claims and nothing that would hold up in a court of law or anything and would just be deemed circumstancial.
